White wash won't work, I can see you coming
We need to talk, so let's have it out
You say you're hurt but you don't see that you're hurting others
We both need a little peace of mind
I know that the truth is undercover
But you hold me to a lie I can no longer keep
The pages turned but you won't see my side of the story
We both need a little time and some peace of mind
How long can we keep this up when we're both burned by the fire? (fire)
This beat in my heart beat tells me you can't tame a fighter (fighter)
All we need is space to breathe and we can build a bridge and start to
Heal our wounds
Heal each other now
Heal each other now
History is a part of the conversation
But the past no longer holds me back anymore
No I won't hide behind the secrets and the complications
We both know that we were wrong and it's time to move on
How long can we keep this up when we're both burned by the fire? (fire)
This beat in my heart beat tells me you can't tame a fighter (fighter)
All we need is space to breathe and we can build a bridge and start to
Heal our wounds
Heal each other now
Heal each other now
Lay me down in a field of flowers
Oh now we can talk it over
You and I will be alright here and now
These words will wash away the fire
And heal our wounds
Heal each other now
Heal each other now
Heal our wounds (this heat in my heartbeat)
Heal each other now (this heat in my heartbeat)
Heal each other now (this heat in my heartbeat)
Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
Downtown the young ones are going
Downtown the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later, baby, you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (sing)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la
Come closer, honey, that's better
Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right
Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go, baby
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya
We're the kids in America (whoa)
We're the kids in America (whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (sing)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America
